Abstract Babinskaiidae is an extinct lacewing family of the superfamily Myrmeleontoidea. Hitherto, nine species of seven genera are described from the Lower and mid-Cretaceous. Here a new species of Babinskaiidae is described from Cretaceous Burmese amber, namely Parababinskaia makarkini sp. n. The new species possesses an A2 vein in the hind wing, suggesting that the loss of this vein might not be an autapomorphy of Babinskaiidae. The female of Electrobabinskaia burmana Lu, Zhang & Liu, 2017…

A new myrmeleontoid genus and species from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Neuroptera, Babinskaiidae)

New Cretaceous antlion-like lacewings promote a phylogenetic reappraisal of the extinct myrmeleontoid family Babinskaiidae
TLDR
The result from the phylogenetic inference combining the data from fossil and extant myrmeleontoids recovered a monophyletic clade composed of Babinskaiidae and another extinct family Cratosmylidae, and assigned this clade to be sister group to a clade including Nemopteridae, Palaeoleont Families, and Myr meleontidae.

New Cretaceous Lacewings in a Transitional Lineage of Myrmeleontoidea and Their Phylogenetic Implications
TLDR
Two new species individually belonging to the extinct families Cratosmylidae and Babinskaiidae are described from the mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber of Myanmar, and the morphology-based phylogeny of Myrmeleontoidea is inferred, which recovered the positions of these new taxa but questioned the familial status of Cratos mylidae.
Identifying the oldest larva of a myrmeleontiformian lacewing – a morphometric approach
TLDR
A combination of non-metric multidimensional scaling, parallel coordinate plots and discriminant function analysis indicates that the fossil is a representative of the group Ascalaphidae (owlflies) + Myrmeleontidae (antlions), and implications for the fossil record of neuropteran larvae are discussed.

The objective of this research is to furnish the keys for the identification of all known Brazilian fossil neuropterans and 16 Figures containing the drafts of all Brazilian neuropteran holotypes.
Revision of Afrotropical Silky Lacewings (Neuroptera: Psychopsidae).
TLDR
Molecular data from a previous study enables updated taxonomy in this revision, and morphology corroborates phylogenetic divergences, and Afrotropical Psychopsidae now comprise ten species, three genera and two subfamilies based on morphology.
Phylogenetic relevance of the genital sclerites of Neuropterida (Insecta: Holometabola)
TLDR
Results from holomorphological and recent molecular cladistic analyses of Neuropterida agree in supporting the sister‐group relationships between: (1) the Raphidioptera and the clade Megaloptera + Neuroptera, and (2) the suborder Nevrorthiformia and all other Neuroptera.

TLDR
This study describes three new species of Osmylidae, a small family of Neuroptera with a worldwide distribution, and new records of known species are reported and a distribution map is presented.

TLDR
Generic limitations in the family are reassessed and several genera raised on venational features are shown to closely resemble typical Psychopsis Newman on genitalic characters.

Phylogeny and Evolution of Neuropterida: Where Have Wings of Lace Taken Us?
TLDR
Phylogenetic estimations based on combined analyses of diverse data sources, ranging from adult and larval morphology to full mitochondrial genomic DNA, have begun to converge on similar patterns, and have given a revised perspective on the historical evolution and classification of Neuropterida.

TLDR
Analysis of anchored hybrid enrichment (AHE) data under a variety of analytical parameters recovered a well‐resolved and strongly supported tree for the higher phylogeny of Neuropterida that is highly concordant with previous estimates based on DNA sequence data.
